Summary

🤖 Robotic Arm — Work in Progress 🚧

Hi! This is my first dive into the world of electronics and robotics. I’m proud to present my project: a 1-meter tall, 5-DoF Robotic Arm that I’ve been developing for "Innovate & Automate". I had this idea for a long time, and it’s thanks to this contest that I finally got started! 🚀 While the arm isn’t fully complete, the shape is there, and the biggest obstacles are behind me.


🌟 Project Highlights

  • 🦾 5 Degrees of Freedom: Built for versatile movement with high adaptability.
  • 🌌 Massive Reach: 1.7 meters of wingspan for a wide range of applications!
  • 📲 Touchscreen Control (Coming Soon): Currently testing with control inputs via Arduino, but I'm aiming for a sleek touch interface.
  • 🧩 Interchangeable End-Effector System (Planned):
    The true final boss of this project! Here’s the concept:
    • Automatic Tip Recognition: RFID-tagged tips are recognized instantly.
    • Power Control: 5V, 12V, and 2xPWM outputs to add functionalities (e.g., grippers, tools) to each tip with magnetic connectors.
    • 3-Servo Locking Mechanism: Effortless tip switching without manual attachment.

(Currently, I have the servos and RFID reader functional, and I'm working on the head design.)


👥 Feedback & Support

I'm just starting out in robotics, and this first project has already taught me a lot about electronics and project design through trial and error. However, I’m sure I’ve missed things along the way. If you have any feedback, tips, or advice, I’d love to hear them!

Thank you for checking out my project! A big thank you to this contest for motivating me to carry out an idea that had been in my head for almost a year and a half and which I was finally able to bring to life! 🥳
